Syntax error Using count equivalent in MongoDB to find top users with max occurrence

Using count equivalent in MongoDB to find top users with max occurrence



To get the count and top users, use $group along with aggregate() . Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed441627c0c63e7dba9e")
}
> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"David"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed471627c0c63e7dba9f")
}
> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed491627c0c63e7dbaa0")
}
> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"Bob"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed4c1627c0c63e7dbaa1")
}
> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed4e1627c0c63e7dbaa2")
}
> db.demo264.insertOne({"Name":"Bob"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47ed531627c0c63e7dbaa3")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo264.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed441627c0c63e7dba9e"), "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed471627c0c63e7dba9f"), "Name" : "David" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed491627c0c63e7dbaa0"), "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed4c1627c0c63e7dbaa1"), "Name" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed4e1627c0c63e7dbaa2"), "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47ed531627c0c63e7dbaa3"), "Name" : "Bob" }

Following is the query to use count equivalent in MongoDB to find top users with max occurrence −

> db.demo264.aggregate(
...   {$group : {_id : "$Name", "count" : {$sum : 1}}},
...   {$sort : {"count" : -1}},
...   {$limit : 5}
...)

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : "Chris", "count" : 3 }
{ "_id" : "Bob", "count" : 2 }
{ "_id" : "David", "count" : 1 }
